I recently helped a friend set up Gentoo + KDE (first Linux experience), and the default PATH did not include the /usr/kde/x.x/bin dir, so he couldn't open KDE progs from the command line. This may be an easy bug or configuration error in /etc/env.d, but the issue remains that it is easier for all the programs to be located in /usr/bin. -- Joel Konkle-Parker Webmaster [Ballsome.com] E-mail [jjk3@msstate.edu] -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
